Effector. Definition. noun, plural: effectors. (biochemistry) A molecule that binds to a protein and affects the function of that protein. (physiology) An organ, a gland, or a muscle that can respond and becomes active in response to a stimulus (e.g. nerve impulse).upplement. In biochemistry, an effector is that molecule that binds to a specific protein, and regulates the latter's biological activity. An effector molecule acts as a ligand that is capable of increasing or decreasing the activity of that protein.
In a second step of the coâevolution, a cocktail of effector proteins is produced and delivered within plant cells via the Type III secretion system. The effectors target multiple host proteins to suppress basal immune responses. In a third step of coâevolution, plant resistance proteins (CCâNBâLRR and TIRâNBâLRR here) detect effector activity or the presence of the effector protein, and restore resistance through effectorâtriggered immune response.
